Pearrific Green Smoothie

In October, I embarked on a self-guided 30 day yoga challenge to help sooth my emotions surrounding our recent move to Montreal. My intention for the month was to grow roots in this new city, begin to feel like I belong somewhere, let go of my fears and embrace the longing I had to return home to Alberta. To help me stay focused, I decided to keep an online journal of my experiences each step of the way.

A week or so into the challenge I learned that the yoga studio I attend, Moksha Yoga NDG was planning to do a 30 day yoga challenge in November, too. I signed up without a second of hesitation and was later asked to help create some yoga challenge inspired meals for my fellow yogis.

For many of us, committing to this yoga challenge has meant much more than heading to a yoga class once a day.

With that in mind, this week’s recipe is centered around being good to your body.

Just one liquid meal per day, packed with enzymes, minerals and vegetables, gives me vitality to accomplish anything that comes my way whether it be a yoga challenge, move across the country, trek through India, whatever. I can do it when I listen to the signals my body sends me and feed myself through my intuition…
